Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

We were in Charleston for a wedding this weekend and walked all over the place. Why did so many of the cars seem so dirty?

asks Ellen G. of Tonawanda, New York…

That’s not dirt, Ellen, it’s pollen! This time of year in Charleston most of the outside surfaces are covered in green pollen — the biggest contributor being the Live Oak trees.

White Park Garden in Charleston, SC is full of spectacular Live Oak trees.

It shows most on the cars, porches and outside furniture, and creates many drippy noses. When it rains the puddles turn green!
